The Group of Twenty (G20) summit will take place on November 18-19 in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. This will be the 19th meeting of this club of heads of state.
The summit will be the first for Argentine President Javier Millais, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and the last for US President Joe Biden.
Russian President Vladimir Putin refused to participate in the summit due to Brazil’s ratification of the Rome Statute. According to this statute, Brazil has the right to arrest Putin, for whom an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court. Instead of Putin, Moscow will be represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov.
